Anyone know how to get it back? Can we email the packman people and ask them what happened? As Andrei noted, the NPAPI version lacks features with PPAPI, that is why I would prefer the PPAPI version.
Hi George,
FWIW, my system is still running 13.2 and, today, zypper update uninstalled chromium-pepper-flash and replaced it with the following:
flash-player-ppapi-24.0.0.186-2.1.x86_64
It also updated Mozilla Firefox to version 50.1.0-94.1. chromium was updated a couple of days ago to 55.0.2883.75-148.1.
I'm not sure how closely this relates to your experience, but I thought it might provide one or more useful clues.
regards,
Carl
Interesting, ok, I am getting a kind of clue as to what is happening. I see that when "system packages" is listed as the source, that means the package is orphaned and no longer available. I just ran a zypper update also, and it removed the pepper-flash package and installed flash-player-ppapi. I wonder, did Adobe decide they were going to make a flash player that firefox can use now, and that is what is suddenly available?
I did actually read somewhere just recently that Adobe was doing something along these lines. A quick check on their download page seems to shows Linux 32-bit and 64-bit options are available: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
